 TValue software is a must have tool for the note and cash flow industry and solves virtually any problem involving time and money. It will calculate the present value (buy price) of virtually ANY payment  schedule at any desired yield:  straight, ARM, skipped payments, balloons, annual  payments, quarterly payments, variable interest, reperforming notes you name it.  Just  try to stump it — you can’t. Use it for analyzing complex cash flows and  generating very professional amortization schedules. The applications of TVALUE  amortization software for the  note broker, note investor, real estate investor, etc. are  endless. With TValue amortization software, no note, loan, lease or any cash flow is too complex. No balloon payment is too difficult. No investment yield is a mystery.  This software is absolutely indispensable. Some national note investors insist note brokers own this software before they will even talk to them!

Quote of the Week

 

No one ever drowned in sweat."       — USMC Officer



 President's Corner

       Being a CEO of a company sounds sexy, but it really isn’t. Being a CEO doesn’t mean that you get to boss people around and tell them what to do. It means that you are responsible for the company’s well-being.  In the Note Business the only way you can ensure that the business is going to do well, when you first start out, is by being in the trenches. You should be talking with note holders, understanding their pain points and dealing with all of their issues. By being in the trenches, you’ll be able to determine what steps your business needs to take to hit profitability for the long term. There’s nothing wrong with being in the trenches, I’ve been there for 24 years and I’m still in them. Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Note Holding Risks

        I have never been an advocate of trying to convince a note holder to sell their mortgage. I have always believed that when a potential note seller really needs the money they will sell you their note if you have given them a fair price and you have built up a rapport with that note seller. I do, however, like to let them know what the potential risks of holding a mortgage are... Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          I saw your name on LinkedIn regarding the purchasing of notes. I was wondering if you would set up a line to purchase notes or collateralize notes as they sold. I am interested in offering seller financing so that when a purchaser comes in we could offer to finance a lot for them at a competitive rate, close them quickly with 25% down and then draw against the line using the note as collateral. Our lots sell for about $200k to $500k. For example, if a lot sold for $300k, we received $75k down and then financed $225k. At that point we would draw a percentage of that off the line (80%?) or even sell the note. Do you know anyone who would be interested in that idea? Thanks for your time.

A - Hi Tim!

          Thanks for the email! Unfortunately at this time in the current real estate market and economic conditions I do not know of anyone that would do what you are asking. For one reason, it's just a lot with no structure or improvements on it at all. For another reason we would need at least 3-6 months seasoning before we would even consider buying the note and then most likely only a partial up to about 50% of the note. Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this one. TWITA!                                                                       ~ Jeff
